My Lucky Charms

Could these t-shirts be any cuter (or any more appropriate?)??? I think not!

Happy St. Patty's Day, everyone, from the two cutest leprechauns (and their mommy and daddy)!

Bring On Spring

Having boys is so much fun! We play outside every day the weather lets us, and lately that has been quite a lot. Most days I have to drag them inside at the end of the day to get them to focus and eat dinner. But I don't mind at all. Honestly, I just love this stage. Finally they are big enough to enjoy doing so many fun things, like blow bubbles and ride their little cars and push their toy lawn mower.

Look at my little tough guy on his bike! Too cute!
Of course, since they are boys, they love playing in the mud, and that includes playing with anything that looks gross or muddy....such as the dog's ball. They run all over the yard saying "ball" and throwing it to Reagan. She is more than happy to play back with them.
I love to open up the windows and leave the patio door open for them. One of their favorite things to do is to play with each other through the glass. It's just so sweet to watch them cackle and get so tickled at each other. They really do have a great time playing together.
I noticed that they were pressing their faces against the door (sorry, Mom. I can practically hear you gasp at the thought of the babies putting their mouths on the dirty door, but oh well!) and finding it really funny. So I snapped these shots of them hamming it up for me.
And here's Drew doing the same.
And this just sums it all up. They are giving each other some love through the glass. It's kind of hard to see, but they are both smiling so big, and they did this for much longer than any toy can keep their attention. Brotherly love, indeed!

Ski Trip 2007

So, most of you who know us know that my sweet husband loves -- and I mean LOVES -- to ski. So, every year we take a little trip with some friends and fly down the slopes. This year was the first year in the past 4 years that we haven't gone skiing with our good friends Patrick and Martha Ann Martin. We missed them and all the excitement that they bring, but we did get to go with some other friends from church: Bart, Jeff, Jen and Chris. We had such a great time laughing and playing in God's beautiful creation. It snowed every single day we were there, all day long. So we had great conditions to play in. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for better.
This is us one day that we took off from Breckinridge, and skied Beaver Creek.
And here are our good friends Jen and Chris. Jen and Michael have been friends for years and years, and we actually have her to thank for getting us together. Now, she is one of my dearest friends too.

Thanks to MawMaw and PawPaw who came down from Missouri to keep Drew and Ben for us so we could get away together!!! We love you guys!

On another note, congratulations to one of my college roomates and dearest friends, Carrie and her husband Seth on the arrival of Baby Colt!!!! He's BEAUTIFUL!!!! And I can't wait to hug and kiss on those big ole cheeks!!!! I love you guys, and I'm so thankful for your precious gift!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
